Crap Speedtest but good after reboot

Did a speedtest yesterday for the first time in a while, and got 50Mb/s on my 750Mb/s service. I repeated it a few times with different servers same 50Mb/s. Rebooted my router and it came good.
So my question is what would cause that to happen.

Can't suggest any likely cause as my Gargoyle devices have never exhibited this sort of behaviour even when left running continuously for as long as 6 months, but actions you could take which might help diagnose a possible cause if/when it happens include:
- check system state for exhausted memory and/or unusually high load averages (i.e. greater than about 80% of the total number of CPU cores)
- check system log for error messages
- run top to check for unusual process activity
